I’m reorganizing and rearranging and reshaping my tiny little house in the trees, moving furniture, getting rid of stuff.
Make art about discoveries made while spring cleaning or reorganizing. Or make art about the feeling of newness that comes after a big clean or reorganization, after ‘cleaning house.’
But our hearts will need us
To be steady and strong
So we can stand and face the fire
Burning higher and higher
No way over it
No way around it
If we want it
We have to go through it
Fight for a love
And the world tries to break us down
But the world will bend and the fight will end
Love will always win

My son came home this weekend, to celebrate Father’s Day with me 🙂 He says since I’ve been both mother and father, I get to celebrate both days.
